With Summer officially starting yesterday, it's time to make sure you are prepared for the new season. Below is a checklist of the essential items we believe will help you get through summer.

Headwear - It is very important to protect yourself from the harmful UV rays from the sun. Whether your fishing, hiking, out in the field or just in your own backyard, having proper headwear will protect your face, eyes, and head from sun damage.

Shorts - Keep yourself cool in Rothco's large selection of shorts. Choose from a wide variety, including Camo cargo shorts, Vintage Fatigue Shorts and the Lightweight Tactical BDU Shorts, which are great for hot summer days as they feature breathable 100% cotton material will help wick moisture away and keep you dry all day long.

T-Shirts - In addition to shorts, Rothco also has a massive collection of t-shirts, including various camouflage patterns as well as moisture wicking and quick dry t-shirts, which are designed for extreme weather conditions, are great for under uniforms and will keep you cool in any heated situations.

Sunglasses - Did you know Rothco has over a dozen kinds of sunglasses? Aviators, sports glasses, and even tactical sunglasses are just a few of the many types we carry. Keep a pair with you during the summer to protect your eyes from the sun, sand and other debris.

Insect Repellent - Bug bites are no fun during the summer time. Take the necessary measures to protect yourself from them and the harmful diseases they can carry. Bug sprays, clothing treatments, and even mosquito netting are just a few ways you can keep bugs at bay this summer.
